I am not 100% sure, but I think the app you're using (the one displaying the text, not the keyboard) can add some items to the long-press menu. |

Please forgive my ignorance, I'm not even sure this is a Heliboard issue...I looked up solutions as best I could, and it seems to point to the keyboard one has installed.
I used the Swype keyboard for many years, and was given the options (near the cursor icon) to "copy, share, select all and websearch" things I had selected on a page, and "cut, copy, paste, and select all" when I was in a text box - this was really all I need when selecting text, so it was perfect. There were horizontal ellipses for more options, but I never had use for them.
Currently, when I select something on a webpage, it gives me these options, in order: "dictionary, translate, copy"; when I select text in a text box, it gives me "dictionary, cut, translate, copy". I don't ever need the dictionary/translation on hand, and wish my most commonly used tools were easily available once again.
Given the customisability of Heliboard, I was wondering if there was a way to change this in my favour. I know this is a minor quibble, and that the desired options are available to pin to the keyboard. I just like my keyboard to be as minimalistic as possible, and don't want to crowd the suggestions tab - I also want to minimise the use of sub-menus if at all possible.
Once again, I'm sorry if this is not a Heliboard issue, and would appreciate being pointed in the right direction if anyone knows a possible solution.
